"I Took a Pill in Ibiza" (also known by its censored title "In Ibiza" or its clean title "I Took a Plane to Ibiza") is a song by American singer Mike Posner. The song was originally acoustic guitar-based and released digitally as a single in the United States in April 2015 before being remixed a few months later by Norwegian production duo Seeb. The original version is on Posner's second EP The Truth, while both versions are on his second studio album At Night, Alone. The title references the Spanish island of Ibiza, while the pill was a "mystery" drug according to Posner; he later confirmed it was MDMA.[1]
The SeeB remix of the song peaked within the top ten of the charts in twenty-seven countries, including number one in Belgium, Israel, Netherlands, Norway, the Republic of Ireland, and the United Kingdom. In the latter country, the song remained at the top of the UK Singles Chart for four weeks. It achieved high chart positions in the US, where it peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for two weeks, also reaching number one on both the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart and the Billboard Pop Songs chart. The song became Posner's biggest single, and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Song of the Year. In May 2016, it was incorporated into the official soundtrack album for MTV's Scream Season 2, appearing throughout the season, and re-released with Scream: Music from Season Two on July 29, 2016, under Island Records.[2]
